The PRD Director-General also invited him to experience the "Thainess Power" exhibition, organized by the PRD.
On 10 September 2025 in Osaka, Japan – Sudruetai Lertkasem, Director-General of Thailand's Public Relations Department (PRD), led her delegation to visit the "Thainess Power" exhibition at the Thailand Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka.
As part of the visit, Director-General Sudruetai met with Ambassador William E. Grayson, U.S. Commissioner General of the U.S. Pavilion, to promote Thailand to American audiences and raise awareness about the country's safety, beauty, and diverse travel experiences. The discussions reaffirmed that Thailand remains a top destination for U.S. travelers.
Ambassador Grayson expressed his interest in visiting Koh Samui, a popular destination among international travelers. In 2021, Travel + Leisure magazine (USA) ranked Koh Samui the seventh best island in the world and second in Asia, based on its stunning natural landscapes, beaches, cuisine, and the warmth of its people.
On this occasion, Ambassador Grayson invited the Thai delegation to explore the USA Pavilion, which highlights cutting-edge technology and innovation, as well as space exploration. In return, the PRD Director-General invited the Commissioner General of the U.S. Pavilion to visit the Thailand Pavilion, which features holistic health care practices rooted in Thai culture and cuisine, and a hands-on experience of Nuad Thai (traditional Thai massage), which has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The PRD Director-General also invited him to experience the "Thainess Power" exhibition, organized by the PRD. Highlights include an AI Photo Booth where visitors can virtually wear traditional Thai attire, a fortune-drawing activity with prizes, and information on how to access reliable Thai news and content via platforms such as the Thailand website (www.thailand.go.th), OTT PRD EE, and NBT World.
The "Thainess Power" exhibition has attracted significant interest, with over 20,000 visitors participating in activities at the PRD booth to date.
